Microsoft confirms that its Paint 3D app will be discontinued in November

Paint 3D, once Microsoft’s biggest update to its Paint app, will be removed from the Microsoft Store later this year and will no longer be supported. The app was originally released as part of Microsoft’s focus on Windows 10 creators and was even set to replace the original MS Paint at one point.

“Paint 3D is obsolete and will be removed from the Microsoft Store on November 4, 2024,” says one Microsoft support note. App users will also see a banner within the app notifying them of the end of support. Microsoft is recommending that Windows users install its 3D viewer app if they need to view 3D content.
